"In working with Theresa, I quickly saw why she'd had so much success in the public sphere already. Not only is her natural public speaking on par with any of the best leaders and entertainers in the public eye, but her clarity, focus, and warmth stood out as truly exemplary."

Connect with Compassion

Bring Humanity Back Into Healthcare

Compassion is the bridge to connection and authentic relationships. Compassion can include simple check-in with a colleague and makes all the difference in feeling a sense of belonging and community. With daily stress as an everyday occurrence, having compassion makes us pause and gives us a perspective on what the other person is experiencing. Research shows that compassion can improve health and overall well being as well as increases positive emotions. Theresa will share 5 ways to improve mental wellness that can be applied in all aspects of life, not just at the workplace. Stress is unavoidable, and we cannot always control when or why it happens. What you can control is how you respond to it. Theresa is available to speak virtually or in person.
